The 10 Stages of Awakening That Everybody Has to Go Through

Spiritual awakening doesn’t actually happen in stages. There is however a natural order of the events that bring on the awakening and gradually transform a person’s life, and it’s just much simpler to understand the journey ahead of you, if you look at it as though it were made up of stages. And these are the 10 stages of awakening that might help you better understand your own spiritual path.

You’re in a bad place in your life, and you’re unhappy with the current state you are in. You don’t get the support you need and are frustrated by life and those around you. You begin to feel the need and will to take back control and make some changes. You decide to take life into your own hands.

You no longer want to rely on others or external events for your happiness. Just setting your mind to these intentions is enough to ignite your energy, your chakras and your soul. This will open your eyes. Your Awakening has begun.

Stage 2

You start to see life with different eyes. You experience feelings of inner peace, euphoria and freedom, but there is also some pain.

All of a sudden you’re confronted with all sorts of emotions from your past and how you’ve chosen to live life. You begin to question and challenge everything.

Stage 3

It’s a war between staying awake and closing your eyes. You feel anxious about what’s going to happen next if you continue on your path of awakening. You are at the point where you take the leap of fate. Things around you begin to fall apart, your beliefs, your way of life, everything becomes meaningless or inappropriate. You feel stuck and bewildered. The ground around you starts shaking, and you suddenly feel as though if you continue, it will implode. At this stage many people go back to sleep, but those who persevere achieve transformation.

Stage 4

Everything has fallen apart and now you’re in the dark. But you must be in the dark in order to understand the light. You are perplexed by the world around you. The poverty, greed, the state of the environment. You start to wonder how this has come to happen.

You feel depressed and unsure how you’ll ever integrate into society. You wish to isolate yourself and be alone, with nature. People around you don’t understand, and think it just a phase. All of a sudden life has no joy, you feel alone and lost and start to wonder “Who am I?”.

Stage 5

You accept that you don’t have to change the world to make a change, but start from yourself , and so you start changing the world by changing from within.
